USES 2.0

Hilti anchor channels (HAC-40F, HAC-50F, HAC-60F, HAC-70F) and Hilti anchor channel bolts (HBC-C M12 8.8F, HBC-C M16 4.6F, HBC-C M16 50R, HBC-C M16 8.8F, HBC-C M20 8.8F) are used to resist static, wind, and seismic (IBC Seismic Design Categories A and B) tension loads (Nua) and shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,y), or any combination of these loads applied at any location between the outermost anchors of the anchor channel in accordance with Figure 2-1 of this report.

Hilti anchor channels (HAC-50F, HAC-60F, HAC-70F) and Hilti anchor channel bolts (HBC-C M16 8.8F, HBC-C M20 8.8F), used in conjunction with Hilti HIT-HY 100 adhesive are used to resist static, wind, and seismic (IBC Seismic

Design Categories C through F) tension loads (Nua) and shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,y), shear loads acting in the direction of the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,x) or any combination of these loads applied at any location in a distance of 23/4 inches or greater to the outermost anchors of the anchor channel in accordance with Figure 2-1 of this report.

Tension load Nua: z-direction (in direction of anchor)

Shear load Vua,y: y-direction (perpendicular to longitudinal axis of channel)

Longitudinal load Vua,x: x-direction (in direction of longitudinal axis of channel)

Figure 2-1: Load directions covered by this report

Transfer of tension loads takes place via interlock between the channel bolt and the channel lips, bending of the channel, tension in the anchors, and mechanical interlock with the concrete. Shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis are transferred by the anchors and by compression stresses between the side of the channel and the concrete. However, for reasons of simplicity, it is assumed that the shear loads are transferred by the anchors only. Shear loads acting in the direction of the longitudinal channel axis are transferred from the channel bolt via mechanical interlock between Hilti HIT-HY 100 adhesive and the rivet (connection between anchor and channel profile mounted through the channel back) to the anchors into the concrete.

ESR-3520 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 28

The use is limited to cracked or uncracked normal-weight concrete having a specified compressive strength, f'c, of 2,500 psi to 10,000 psi (17.2 MPa to 69.0 MPa) [minimum of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].

Anchor channels are alternatives to cast-in-place anchors described in Section 1901.3 of the 2015 IBC, Section 1908 and 1909 of the 2012 IBC, and Sections 1911 and 1912 of the 2009 and 2006 IBC. They may also be used where an engineered design is permitted in accordance with Section R301.1.3 of the IRC.

DESCRIPTION 3.0

HAC anchor channel system: 3.1

The Hilti anchor channels (Figure 8-3) consists of a V-shaped carbon steel channel profile and at least two round headed anchors bolted to the channel back. The maximum number of anchors per channel is not limited. The appropriate channel bolts (Figure 8-3) are placed in the anchor channel (Figure 2-1). Geometric parameters are shown in Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-4 and are given in Table 8-1 of this report.

Steel specifications for the channels, anchors and channel bolts are given in Table 8-9 of this report.

Concrete: 3.2

Normal-weight concrete shall comply with Sections 1903 and 1905 of the IBC.

DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4.0

Strength Design: 4.1

4.1.1 General:

The design strength of anchor channels under the 2015, 2012, 2009, and 2006 IBC, must be determined in accordance with ACI 318-14 chapter 17, ACI 318-11, -08, and -05 Appendix D and this report.

4.1.2 Determination of forces acting on anchor channels:

4.1.2.1 General:

Anchor channels shall be designed for critical effects of factored loads as determined by elastic analysis taking into account the elastic support by anchors and the partial restraint of the channel ends by concrete compression stresses. As an alternative, the triangular load distribution method in accordance with Section 4.1.2.2 and Section 4.1.2.3 to calculate the tension and shear loads on anchors shall be permitted.

4.1.2.2 Tension loads:

The tension loads, Naua,i, on an anchor due to a tension

load, Nua, acting on the channel shall be computed in accordance with Eq. (1). An example for the calculation of the tension loads acting on the anchors is given in Figure 4-1.

Naua,i = k · A’i · Nua (1)

where

A’i = ordinate at the position of the anchor i assuming a triangle with the unit height at the position of load Nua and the base length 2ℓin with ℓin determined in accordance with Eq. (3). Examples are provided in Figure 4-1.

s = anchor spacing, in. (mm)

Nua = factored tension load on channel bolt, lb (N)

Iy = the moment of inertia of the channel shall be taken from Table 8-1 of this report.

If several tension loads are simultaneously acting on the channel, a linear superimposition of the anchor forces for all loads shall be assumed. If the exact position of the load on the channel is not known, the most unfavorable loading position shall be assumed for each failure mode (e.g. load acting over an anchor for the case of failure of an anchor by steel rupture or pull-out and load acting between anchors in the case of bending failure of the channel).

The bending moment Mu,flex on the channel due to tension loads acting on the channel shall be computed assuming a simply supported single span beam with a span length equal to the anchor spacing.

4.1.2.3 Shear loads acting on the channel perpendicular to its longitudinal axis:

The shear load Vaua,y,i on an anchor due to a shear load

Vua,y acting on the channel perpendicular to its longitudinal axis shall be computed in accordance with Section 4.1.2.2 replacing Nua in Eq. (1) by Vua,y.

ESR-3520 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 3 of 28

4.1.2.4 Shear loads acting on the channel in direction of the longitudinal channel axis:

The shear load Vua,x,i on an anchor due to a shear load Vua,x acting on the channel in direction of the longitudinal channel axis shall be computed as follows:

For the verification of the strength of the anchor channel for failure of the anchor or failure of the connection between anchor and channel, pryout failure, and concrete edge failure in case of anchor channels arranged parallel to the edge without corner effects, the shear load Vua,x shall be equally distributed to all anchors for anchor channels with not more than three anchors or to three anchors for anchor channels with more than three anchors [as illustrated in Figure 4-3]. The shear load Vua,x shall be distributed to those three anchors that result in the most unfavorable design condition [in the example given in Figure 4-3 the shear load Vua,x shall be distributed to the anchors 10 to 12].

For the verification of the strength of the anchor channel for concrete edge failure in case of anchor channels arranged perpendicular to the edge and in case of anchor channels arranged parallel to the edge with corner effects, the shear load Vua,x shall be equally distributed to all anchors for anchor channels with not more than three anchors or to the three anchors closest to the edge or corner for anchor channels with more than three anchors [as illustrated in Figure 4-4].

4.1.2.5 Forces related to anchor reinforcement:

If tension loads are acting on the anchor channel, the factored tension forces of the anchor reinforcement for one anchor shall be computed for the factored tension load, N0

ua,i, of the anchor assuming a strut-and-tie model.

If a shear load Vua,y is acting on the anchor channel, the resultant factored tension force of the anchor reinforcement Nua,re, shall be computed by Eq. (4).

For all other cases, ψcp,N shall be taken as 1.0.

Where anchor reinforcement is developed in accordance with ACI 318-11 Chapter 12 or ACI 318-14 Chapter 25 on both sides of the breakout surface for an anchor of an anchor channel, the design strength of the anchor reinforcement, Nca, shall be permitted to be used instead of the concrete breakout strength, Ncb, in determining Nn.

CONDITIONS OF USE 5.0

Hilti anchor channels (HAC) and Hilti anchor channel bolts (HBC-C) described in this report are a suitable alternative to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions:

The anchor channels, anchor channel bolts and Hilti 5.1HIT-HY 100 must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s printed installation instructions (MPII) and this report as depicted in Figure 8-6, Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8. In case of a conflict, this report governs.

The Hilti anchor channels (HAC-40F, HAC-50F, 5.2HAC-60F, HAC-70F) and Hilti anchor channel bolts (HBC-C M12 8.8F, HBC-C M16 4.6F, HBC-C M16 50R, HBC-C M16 8.8F, HBC-C M20 8.8F) are used to resist static, wind, and seismic (IBC Seismic Design Categories A and B) tension loads (Nua) and shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,y), or any combination of these loads applied at any location between the outermost anchors of the anchor channel in accordance with Figure 2-1 of this report.

Hilti anchor channels (HAC-50F, HAC-60F, HAC-70F) and Hilti anchor channel bolts (HBC-C M16 8.8F, HBC-C M20 8.8F), used in conjunction with Hilti HIT-HY 100 adhesive are used to resist static, wind, and seismic (IBC Seismic Design Categories A through F) tension loads (Nua) and shear loads perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,y), shear loads acting in the direction of the longitudinal channel axis (Vua,x) or any combination of these loads applied at any location in a distance of 23/4 inches or greater to the outermost anchors of the anchor channel in accordance with Figure 2-1 of this report.

The Hilti anchor channels must be limited to the use 5.3in cracked or uncracked normal-weight concrete having a specified compressive strength, f'c, of 2,500 psi to 10,000 psi (17.2 MPa to 69.0 MPa) [minimum of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].

Since an acceptance criteria for evaluating data to 5.4determine the performance of anchor channels in lightweight concrete is unavailable at this time, the use of these anchor channels under such conditions is beyond the scope of this report.
